Yesterday we discovered some oil loss on the floor and laid a pasteboard under the car to see how much loss there is.

The result after one night is the following:

Any ideas what could be the reason? Take the car to the dealer?

The possibilities are myriad, from minor to major, any one of which requires a trip to see your SA.
